Kartik Aaryan Takes A Pay Hike After The Success Of Luka Chuppi?

Kartik Aaryan may still be new to Bollywood stardom, but the actor is making all the right moves to ensure that his success remains sustained. In one such move has come after the success of his recent film Lukka Chuppi. If reports are anything to go by, Kartik Aaryan has hiked his fee.

The actor tough has taken this up as a measure to avoid projects and directors he doesn’t want to work with. "There were very big films around Luka Chhuppi like Badla, Captain Marvel and Total Dhamaal, which was a total comedy film. Still, Luka Chuppi stood its ground and that is one reason why he is now a preferred actor. He has hiked his price to keep away a lot of filmmakers who he does not want to work with," stated a source in India Today.

There were similar reports after Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety turned out to be a 2018 box office sensation earning over 100 crores. It was said that the actor demanded 3 crores as remuneration for Pyaar Ka Panchnama 3 which resulted in bad blood between him and director Luv Rajan. Kartik had come out and clarified that there was never a monetary discussion between him and Luv Ranjan.  "There hasn't been discussion between me and Luv (Ranjan) sir about money. So, I don't know from where these kind of news (reports) are emerging. We both have started our respective careers together so there hasn't been discussion about money and it will never be in the future as well. I just want to clarify that there is nothing wrong between me and Luv sir. I think we both are same as we used to be earlier,” Kartik had told IANS.

As far as the fee hike after Lukka Chuppi goes, there has been no confirmation from the actor himself. On the work front, Kartik has Love Aaj Kal 2 with Sara Ali Khan, major parts of which he has already shot in New Delhi. He is also doing a film with Ananya Pandey and Bhumi Pednekar which has been titled Pati, Patni Aur Woh.
